We're looking for a Therapy Assistant to join our friendly service, York House.

Working in brain injury rehabilitation is different to other kinds of support work. You’re there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them gain the skills and confidence to live independently.

You will share the journey with these inspiring people as they overcome hurdles, achieve milestones, and reach the goals they’ve set. Many of the people we support only stay for three months before they are ready to move on. You can make a massive difference in that time.

**The Disabilities Trust is a charity that aims to improve the lives of people**
**with brain injuries in the UK.** Our assessment centres, rehabilitation units and hospitals use expert neurorehabilitation to support people to regain the skills they have lost. We treat people with a range of brain injuries - sustained through trauma, illness, substance abuse and more - to recover and meet their personal goals.

We offer a comprehensive range of services including expert assessments and rehabilitation. Our service provides assessment, rehabilitation and support to adults with acquired brain injury and challenging behaviour and/or complex needs.

We are a passionate and committed team, delivering a high standard of care and rehabilitation. Our Rehabilitation Support Workers and Clinical Team thrive on working together to enable our service users to be as independent as possible and achieve their rehabilitation goals.

Your main duties will be;
- To work with service users as guided by the registered therapist(s) across all disciplines i.e. occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, in order to meet outcomes/goals.
- To enable, guide and support our service users with acquired brain injuries in the performance of daily living skills and impairment level therapy activities on the unit, in their own homes and in the community.
- To assist the service users to practice, reinforce and generalise specific skills and behaviours. The range may include but is not limited to the following: kitchen skills, personal care, indoor and outdoor mobility, transfers, cognitive re-training, upper limb exercises, speech and language exercises, safe swallowing and social communication practice.
- To promote effective communication with service users, relatives, carers and colleagues. Accurately relaying relatives/carers comments to the clinical team. Assist service users in maintaining effective communications, and when necessary to provide service users with the means to express, using alternative and augmentative communication systems if necessary.
- To promote positive reinforcement of socially acceptable behaviours and model appropriate boundaries whilst maintaining a consistent approach.
- To provide assistance to and support the clinical team in the planning and delivery of individually tailored therapeutic programmes of care and rehabilitation.
- To consistently follow therapeutic programmes as designed by the clinical team, gain informed and valid consent and provide detailed feedback and monitoring and take an active role feeding into the assessment and evaluation of the programme.

**Rewards**

You can look forward to excellent benefits, including handy discounts on many brands and services.
- A competitive salary of £22,767.29 pa
- 33 days holiday including bank holidays
- Group Life assurance
- Employer pension contribution
- Eye voucher scheme
